Ezekiel 19:10-14

Share

Settings

10 Your mother was 1like a vine in a vineyard[a] planted by the water, 2fruitful and full of branches 3by reason of abundant water.
11 Its strong stems became rulers' scepters; it towered aloft among the thick boughs;[b] it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury, cast down to the ground; 4the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off and withered. As for its strong stem, fire consumed it.
13 5Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 6And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, 7so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling.This is 8a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:10-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 19

The subject matter of this chapter is a lamentation for the princes and people of the Jews, on account of what had already befallen them, and what was yet to come, Eze 19:1. The mother of the princes is compared to a lioness, and they to lions; who, one after another, were taken and carried captive, Eze 19:2-9; again, their mother is compared to a vine, and they to branches and rods for sceptres, destroyed by an east wind, and consumed by fire, Eze 19:10-14.
